I really should watch/read the news sometimes, totally missed that! So the Vienna-Bucharest night train will be a bit faster 😁
- Nope, this “membership” is only for air and water travel. There are still border checks on land. A great victory, as the politicians said, indeed.
  
  For now. Land borders is next on the agenda and the decision on when to lift them should be taken this year by the European Commission.
  
  Bummer. Now I wonder how thee process will be, I get a passport stamp for entry by train but no exit stamp at the airport? 🤔
Welcome, !bulgariaeu@lemmy.world and !romania@feddit.ro ! Happy travels.
Welcome friendos
Awesome!
...by air and sea only.

Thanks, Nehammer! May you go to hell as a truck driver and spend your afterlife in an infinite queue at the border control!

Edit: then turned back because you were carrying illegally cut wood!
